Your tablet has a built-in battery. The battery can only be replaced by the original manufacturer.

Before using your tablet for the first time, you need to charge the battery for a minimum of eight hours.

Warnings:• Do not crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of battery

in fire or water. • Do not expose to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).

3 Plug the USB power adapter into a power outlet to start charging the battery.

Caution: Use only the included power adapter or a qualified 5V/2A power adapter to charge your tablet's battery. An unqualified adapter or an adapter that is not a 5V/2A adapter may damage your tablet.

Caution: If you plan to store your tablet for an extended period, you need to charge the battery at least once a month. If the battery charge drains completely, the battery may be damaged.




To conserve battery power:Battery performance depends on many factors, including the network configuration, signal strength, temperature, features or settings, items attached to ports, and usage of programs or functions.

• Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it.• Adjust the screen brightness to the lowest level you are comfortable

with. See “Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a network.”Notes:• You can also connect your tablet to a computer to charge the

battery, but charging will take longer than charging with the power adapter.

What should I do if my tablet shows a low-battery warning?• Connect your tablet to a computer or the included power adapter to charge the battery.

What should I do if I can’t access the web?• Check the wireless signal indicator in the status bar at the top of the screen. If there is no

signal, you are not connected.• Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on.• Make sure to select the right network and enter the correct password.

What should I do if there is no sound coming from my tablet?• Unplug and reconnect the headset. Make sure that the connector is pushed in all the way.• The volume may be muted or set too low. Increase the volume setting.

Why is the actual storage less than storage in the specification?• The device needs some space to hold system applications and data files, so the actual

storage is less than the memory capacity in the specifications.




Maintaining• Keep your tablet dry. • Avoid exposing your tablet to extreme hot or cold temperatures. • Avoid placing your tablet close to lit cigarettes, open flames, or any heat

source. • Do not drop, knock, or shake your tablet. Rough handling may break

internal circuit boards. • Do not paint your tablet as the paint could obstruct the ports and prevent

normal use. • Keep your tablet in a clean and dust free place.

Legal noticesFCC Warning

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Part 15This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning:Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance with the FCC Rules could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Note:The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

RSS-Gen & RSS-210 StatementThis device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

RSS-102 StatementThis equipment complies with Industry Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.Cet équipement est conforme à l'exposition aux rayonnements Industry Canada limites établies pour un environnement non contrôlé.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification InformationYour wireless mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U. S. Government.




These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations: The National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the mobile device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device while operating can be well below the maximum reported value. This is because the mobile device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the mobile device.Before a new model mobile device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC. Tests for each model mobile device are performed in positions and locations (e.g. near the body) as required by the FCC.By typical operations, this mobile device has been tested and meets FCC SAR guidelines.Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this mobile device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. This mobile device has a FCC ID number: A3LSCHI925 and the specific SAR levels for this mobile can be found at the following FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/The SAR information for this device can also be found on Samsung’s website: http://www.samsung.com/sarSAR information on this and other model mobile devices can be accessed online on the FCC’s website through http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that pertains to a particular model mobile device, this site uses the mobile device FCC ID number, which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the mobile device.Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular mobile device, follow the instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular mobile device. Additional SAR information can also be obtained at http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones.
